Vitality score
Vitality score 23.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 81 % of the 14,595 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LE FIED_SAPC weather station, 8.5 km away at 522 m; the village itself is at 305 m. [9]
The village sits 217 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at LONS LE SAUNIER, 10 km away at 298 m, over 30 summers. [9]
An average of 1,458 mm of rain a year, spread over 143 days — about 10.2 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CRANCOT, 2.4 km away at 509 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Baume-les-Messieurs's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
